In 33 years you have never gained any new skills or sought to get a better paying job? Maybe this man is John Galt??

“I cannot let them down. They need me.”What better reason to keep on living life than the motivation of being needed. It seems that many retired people take jobs for that very reason, not because they need money, but because they need to stay productive. Kudos to Mr. Murray.

Maybe this man is John Galt??I had the same thought at first. Pinging to Publius. You might find this story interesting.

Galt would never have let anyone write an article about him. Someone at 20th Century Motors would have remembered him, and the NSA and IRS would have been on him in minutes.

I suspected you were from the South, probably rural South. I was raised to refer to my elders as Mister or Miss and their first name, all ladies 16 and up are Maam. Race didn’t matter.

What minimum wage is he getting? 2012 minimum wage or 1980 minimum wage?

Working for minimum wage means you get the prevailing minimum wage. BTW, that’s not a raise.

I would have to...for exemplary work ethic...loyalty to job...and I’d figure out a few more reasons.

That was 33 years ago and he never received a raise. Sounds like the rest of the private sector...

I read it in the paper, Mr. Newton is what made America great. Kudos to the seafood company to keep him working.

That’s a beautiful story. She was like a surrogate Grand-Mama to you. I can imagine Meryl Streep playing a colorful personality like that, only in the movie, she’d have an 83y/o boyfriend.
To: Errant
Actually, the minimum wage has gone from $3.10 to $7.25 per hour during the time he has worked.
